tawatchaiprakobkit/iStock via Getty Images Introduction I have written about Summit Hotel Properties ( INN ) several times previously, most recently in June 2025 . Back then, I rated the company as a “Buy” due to its healthy balance sheet and high dividend yield. With the release of the company’s Q4 2025 earnings last month , it seems like a good time for me to re-evaluate the company to see if my rating remains the same. Business Model & FY 2025 Performance Summit Hotel Properties operates 95 hotels with over 14,000 guestrooms in 42 markets across 24 states. It is a select-service hospitality REIT, meaning its properties are rooms-focused. By concentrating on the core aspect of rooms, the company is able to reduce capital requirements, which in turn results in a leaner cost structure and ultimately higher operating margins. The majority of the company’s hotels are located in the top 50 US markets. Crucially, the hotels are well-diversified geographically. Subsequent to year-end, in February, the company sold the 122-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn in Longview, Texas, bringing its portfolio down to 94 properties. INN Mar'26 Investor Presentation Historically, the company has a track record of outperformance, even compared to its select-service peers. This is in no small part due to its operational platform, which leverages the company’s expertise and experience in revenue and asset management, design and construction, and capital allocation, all underpinned by robust business intelligence and data analytics. For FY 2025, Summit Hotel Properties generated an EBITDA margin of 33.4%, outperforming its select-service peers by 130 basis points (32.1%) and its full-service peers by a huge 630 basis points (27.1%). This came despite a difficult year, which saw RevPAR fall by 2.2% and AFFO falling from $0.96/share in 2024 to $0.85/share in 2025. The difficult year was mainly attributed to a reduction in United States government-related travel (historically comprising 15% to 20%...

A decade ago there were no trillion-dollar stocks. Today, even after a slump in tech stocks, there are ten companies that are currently above that threshold, a testament to the strength of the stock market in recent years. The following are the ten stocks shown along with their market caps: As you can see, the tech sector now dominates the top echelon of the stock market as all of those stocks can claim to be tech stocks with the exception of Berkshire Hathaway. Nearly all of them have been heavily investing in AI and have benefited from the AI boom as well. Continue reading

Dilok Klaisataporn/iStock via Getty Images AI has sent growth stocks a bout of extreme volatility. Upstart ( UPST ) has been caught in the crossfire, in spite of continuing to post solid growth rates. But rising macro uncertainty as well as the potential for AI-led competition has changed the way I look at the same numbers. I was disappointed by the pause in margin expansion and find the current valuation stretched even after the recent fall. I am downgrading the stock to a sell rating. UPST Stock Price I last covered UPST in November , where I upgraded the stock to a buy rating on account of the volatility. That has proven true early as the stock has fallen yet another 36%. Data by YCharts I typically loathe downgrading stocks after a significant drawdown, but the setup here means everything. UPST Stock Key Metrics UPST is a financial tech company that uses artificial intelligence to underwrite loans. This is an AI-first company that has improved its underwriting models based on cycles even before the rise of generative AI. Ironically, the stock might be more popular if it had come public after the rise of AI, but here we are. 2025 Q4 Presentation In the most recent quarter, UPST generated 35% YoY revenue growth to $296 million, slightly exceeding guidance of $288 million. I suspect investors were disappointed by both the steep deceleration in YoY growth (which is understandable due to tough comps) as well as the smaller magnitude of the beat to guidance. 2025 Q4 Presentation The company saw contribution margins contract 400 bps QoQ and 800 bps YoY to 53%, in line with guidance. 2025 Q4 Presentation The company generated $64 million in adjusted EBITDA, exceeding guidance of $63 million. Similar to the top line, I viewed the small beat with disappointment and also note that margins retreated 400 bps QoQ after increasing sequentially to that 26% level in the third quarter. 2025 Q4 Presentation The company generated $19 million in GAAP net income, exceeding guidance o...
